Nicaraguan students
continue struggle
by Cathy Richardson
VICTORIA (CUP)— Maria
Ramirez is the president ofthe
National Union of Nicaraguan
Students (UNEN). On March 7,
she was interviewed in Managua
by a member of an international
team of observers during the
February Nicaraguan elections.
THE 14-member coalition of
centre, right and far-left
parties, UNO, defeated the
Sandinista government in the
second fr.ee elections since the
Sandinista revolution in 1979.
The office ofthe National
Union of Nicaraguan students
lies in the barrio Colonia Miguel
Bonilla, on the outskirts of Managua. It is near the National
Nicaraguan Autonomous
University (UNAN).
On the side of the building, a
painted UNEN logo takes the
form of a rifle.
While waiting to meet Maria
Ramirez, UNEN's president, we
help students fold pamphlets
which will be distributed on various campuses.
The pamphlets announce an
emergency meeting of student
councils and declare students
will unite to defend the achievements ofthe revolution. Other
activists are busy counting
thousands of bus tokens, which
look like red poker chips. They
are given free to students—one
ofthe many benefits the Sandinistas brought to student life.
Ramirez finally arrives and
we go into her office. The light is
broken and there are no high-
tech copiers or computers. In
spite of the minimalist infrastructure, the Nicaraguan
Student Union is one of the most
effective and well organized in
the world.
They are capable of mobilizing thousands of students to
demonstrate with a few hours
notice. As well, students are one
ofthe most outspoken groups in
Nicaraguan society.
Ramirez explained she is
busy attending emergency
meetings with faculty members
and administrators. Since the
election results were announced,
there has been concern about the
future of education in Nicaragua.
Nicaraguan students elect
their representatives to UNEN
annually from the classrooms
and from the faculties (equivalent to course unions). Every two
years there are elections for the
national executive. A candidate
cannot seirve more than one term
on national executive and may
run as an independent or as a
member of a party. The last
elections returned all Sandinista
candidates to the union's
executive.
There are no tuition fees for
university students in Nicaragua. This was a major achievement ofthe 1979 Sandinista
revolution. Before that time only
select wealthy citizens had
access to university education.
Nicaragua's constitution
says 'access to education is free
and equal for all Nicaraguans.'
Students pay a nominal registration fee of approximately $2, half
of which goes to UNEN fees.
Student leaders are concerned about the new economic
policy which may come into effect
in May 1990. It is likely the new
government of the United National Opposition (UNO) will reintroduce stiff tuition fees.
Many students may not not
be able to continue their studies.
Students are also afraid the
UNO government will cut
student subsidies for living
expenses and school supplies.
As well, there will likely be
no more free bus tokens. Childcare programs are also on the list
of programs to be axed.
Many students have
made it clear they
will not let the social
conditions be pushed
back to those of the
Somoza era.
Ramirez said the change in
government will inevitably
strengthen the student movement. Many students voted for
the UNO coalition (formed of 14
parties ranging from the communists to the far right) because
they believed there would be an
end to the war, the draft, and the
US embargo, she said.
To many students the larger
threat, to the entire social
network was unanticipated. The
present generation of students
often come from families historically denied access to any
education.
Ramirez said she believed
some students are "politically
unsophisticated" and far too
trusting of UNO.
"Although many students
voted for the UNO there will be
large demonstrations and joint
student action to defend our education system. This may be a
good political education for many
students who think that the
UNO has good intentions," said
Ramirez.
The first somber indication
of social regression is the return
of landlords from the days of
Somoza, attempting to evict
people from they land they used
to own.
Many campesinos, who. voted
for the UNO because they long
for peace and better economic
conditions, have now realized
their land and homes are in
jeopardy. These same people who
voted for the UNO have vowed to
defend their property with arms.
This may be the case with
the Nicaraguan students as well.
Many students are in the
reserves or the militia and have
made it clear they will not let the
social conditions in their country
be pushed back to those of the
Somoza era.
There are great fears this
may happen if the newly elected
president Violetta Chomorro
succeeds in reducing the army
and reinstating the National
Guard.
The Sandinista Front for
National Liberation (FSLN) was
born out of UNEN in the '70s
when a handful of students took
to the mountains to fight a
guerilla war alongside the
campesinos against Somoza's
national guard.
Today there are Sandinista
youth groups on university campuses. Although Sandinista candidates won the UNEN executive
positions with 64 per cent of the
vote, UNEN is a democratic organization. UNEN leaders fight
for the rights of all students, not
just Sandinistas.
Ramirez said there have
been no incidents of political
sabotage from opposition forces
on campus. "Once elected all
members work together to
advance the platform of the
elected body."
Ramirez said there are many
areas in which UNEN disagrees
with the educational policies of
the Sandinista government. University autonomy has been &
focal issue recently. Through a
long series of discussions with
the Education Minister great
steps were taken towards
granting individual universities
autonomy in the area of academic regulations, exams,
entrance requirements and
policy.
The biggest academic problem facing Nicaraguan universities is the lack of textbooks. In
some faculties there is one textbook for 880 students. The text is
kept by the professor and individual students have to make
copies.
The shortage is mainly a result of the U.S. economic embargo, but Ramirez said groups
such as Tools for Peace have
been helpful in sending supplies.
The federation plans to organize a worldwide drive for
textbooks. They are looking to
Canadian student associations
for help, including the University
of Victoria student council and
the Canadian Federation of
Students.
Maria Ramirez has a
message for Canadian students.
"Sadly we are a country that
must live in many years with a
war, with two U.S. invasions in
our history. And now the United
States government must fight
with us and wants to make the
revolution disappear.
"Canadian students can help
us by helping keep our revolution
alive. Students can do many
things. More concretely you can
help us with our book campaign.
In Nicaragua we make duo-
copies with ink run-offs. I have
confidence that we will have
student solidarity now and in the
future. We think we can have
peace and in this peace we v/ill
fight to have the FSLN in
government." CLASSIFIEDS 228-3977

Students
bashed by
brokers
MONTREAL (CUP)—University students were arrested by the
busload at the Montreal Stock
Exchange last Tuesday amid allegations that brokers attacked
them, started fistfights and broke
a chair over one student's head.
Two students were taken to
hospital, bleeding from the nose
and ears.
Montreal constable Jacques
Patenaude said 178 had been
charged with trespassing with intent to cause mischief, failing to cooperate with police, "and possibly
one or two with assault." Patenaude said more students will be
charged.
The students' lawyer says 280
were hauled in. No brokers were
arrested.
"Traders pushed the students
back. They were incredibly violent—I didn't see it, but someone
told me one guy attacked with a
chair. Everybody was eating
knuckle sandwiches," said Montreal radio journalist Philippe
Marquis, who joined the protest
and was arrested.
A group of 350, mostly Universite de Montreal students, went to
the exchange to ask business to
pay a one per cent tax on earnings
to go toward university education.
The action was in response to
Quebec's recent doubling of tuition
fees.
Marquis said the students
climbed up to the fourth floor stock
exchange offices on Rene Levesque
Blvd. just before the 4:30 closing
time.
Fifty students actually made
it onto the trading floor after two
students, disguised in three-piece
suits, opened the doors for the rest.
"It provoked the rage ofthe traders," Marquis said.
The students were pushed
back, joining their colleagues' sit-
in in the lobby. Marquis said police in full riot gear arrived within
ten minutes. A few escaped down
emergency exits, the rest were
arrested.
The students filled paddy
wagons and two city transit
buses. It took an hour to unload
them at the central police station
in Old Montreal.
Marquis said he expects a
municipal court summons in four
months. By 9:30 p.m., 58 students
had been processed and released,
according to the students' lawyer.
"It's fascist," said a shaken
Andre Gagnon, president of the
UQAM arts and literature students association. "It's the first
time in the Quebec student movement that massive arrests were
made.
"The actions are really disturbing the patronat (business
leaders). It's very significant,"
said Gagnon. "It doesn't bother
them when people quit university
but when we put our feet in their
temples, they get mad. For them,
education of the people is not
important, money is everything."
About 1000 students
marched in Montreal March 18th
to protest Quebec education min-
inster Claude Ryan's plan to raise
university tuition fees 130 per
cent over the next two years.
College and university student associations representing
about 90,000 students are on
strike this week to protest the
planned hikes which would take
effect in September.

Prosecutors want fine
by Nicholas lonides
Prosecution rested Monday
evening at student court during
the case against the Engineering
Undergraduate Society (EUS) for
their March 14 nEUSlettre.
The nEUSlettre has been
charged with containing racist,
sexist, and homophobic material.
Natives Alan Price and Daren
Winegarden, UBC law students
who are prosecutors for the case,
said the publication is discriminatory on the basis of race, gender,
and sexual orientation.
Prosecution has asked the
"EUS be overseen by the AMS
[Alma Mater Society] for one year
and fined $16,000," said Price after court.
The $16,000 fine would be
"spent on programs and actions
that promote tolerance as opposed
to fostering hatred and discrimination," said Price.
"We also asked that the court
amend the EUS constitution to
include a definition and a prohibition of discrimination."
Prosecution also asked court
to recommend the EUS pay the
fine instead of having the $32,000
EUS fund withheld.
But in the President's
(Strangway's) Report to Senate
dated March 21, it is written, I
have "instructed that the collection of fees for EUS shall be
stopped immediately and that
publication of all EUS material be
halted until there is a commit- ,
ment to abide by its own policies."
The President's report said, "I
am directing the student discipline committee to develop recommendations." "In doing so, I am
asking them to consider suspension of those students directly
involved."
Price said they [prosecution]
have recommended that there be
no expulsion but, "we do support
the eight month suspension."
"Right now, we are only dealing with the (EUS)," said Price.
Student court will reconvene
on Thursday at 12:00p.m. to deal
with the EUS.
At 3:30p.m. disciplinary proceedings will be heard against
EUS members Martin J. Sikes,

Court adjourns for lack of defense
by Franka Cordua-von Specht
An act of generosity by student court yesterday saved the
Engineering Undergraduate Society from testifying in defence of
the nEUSlettre and postponed the
trial until Thursday.
After the prosecution presented their case against the controversial newsletter, the five
judges ofthe court decided to stay
the case when the defense said
they could not proceed without
legal counsel.
B.C. Civil Liberties Association president John Dixon, who
was present at the trial, criticized
the manner in which it has been
handled so far.
"It's a good thing they recessed until defence could contact
legal representation," said Dixon.
"But legal representation should
have been present to hear the case
first hand."
According to the AMS
Constitution, each member of the
society is entitled to be defendedin
court by an active member of the
AMS.
At the outset of the hearing
the three engineers who comprised the defence asked the court
to delay the trial until they could
seek legal advice.
The prosecution and court
initially rejected the request, citing an AMS by-law which states
that any motion to adjourn a trial
must be received by the court 24-
hours in advance.
Clerk of the court Jessica
Mathers said, "Rules provide they
should present their reasons for
not being prepared to proceed a
day before the hearing."
She said the engineers were
informed on Wednesday of their
right and were advised to seek
legal counsel. "They did not call a
lawyer until today (Monday)."
Former EUS president Skott
Kent said he only found out he was
subpoenaed on Friday. He said,
"We contacted our lawyers who
were unavailable on the weekend.
Today was the first day we could
meet with them."
The court's explanation of
their initial decision, however,
found no sympathy with Dixon.
He said, "I was surprised
court was so quick to reject a motion for adjournment since defense
clearly was without representation."
Dixon said he did not understand how court could have proceeded knowing that the defence
had difficulty securing legal counsel.
But according to EUS president Darren Sanders, UBC legal

Food war rages on
by James Dolan
In a late reaction to a petition
signed by incensed Totem Park
residents, UBC Food Services
decided yesterday evening to pull
their budget proposal from the
agenda for today's board of governors' meeting.
Totem park residents, however, are fed up with UBC Food
Services and will continue to take
action against the proposed $400
price increase for food at Totem
Park residence.
The Totem Park Residence
Association (TPRA) executive
council estimates over 600 residents have signed the petition
opposing the increase. The petition was sent yesterday morning
to the board of governors, demanding action from the board.
"It's a crock," said TPRA
president Justin Meilkem. "Food
Services are trying to ram uneces-
sary 'conveniences' down our
throatsi. I'd rather have the $400 in
my pocket."
Food Services originally
planned to use the extra $400 from
each resident to expand the current meal plan in operation at
Totem.
This expanded plan would
allow the students to use their
meal cards at the SUBWAY cafeteria, Magda's, a small canteen in
Totem, as well as the current Totem Park cafeteria.
TPRA vice-president Sabrina
Gill objects to the lack of student
input on the proposal. "We never
asked for these changes. We're
furious about the complete lack of
student input. Hopefully, well get
enough response to make Food
Services scrap the plan. We're
going to fight this all the way."
TPRA also accuses food services of using "bully tactics" to pressure Cam McNeil into giving token approval to the plan. McNeil
was TPRA President at the time of
the proposal's construction.
"I wouldn't exactly say it was
signed under duress, but there is a
general feeling that Cam was
forced into giving approval to the
proposal," Meilkem said.

The Canadian national volleyball team dealt the Chinese
national squad their fourth defeat
in as many matches.
Saturday night at War Memorial Gym, the Canadians won by
scores of 13-1515-1115-615-9 in a
match that took 89 minutes to
play.
In the first match, the Chinese led from start to finish and
never gave the Canadian team an
opportunity to exercise their superior size.
The second match was a seesaw affair with the Canadians
going out to an early 10-3 lead only
to see it swallowed up by a combative Chinese squad who evened the
score at 11. The Chinese comeback was squashed and the Canadians held on to win 15-11.
The match broke the Chinese
team's spirit and the remaining
two matches took just over 30
minutes to complete.
Canadian player, Randy Gingera, was outstanding and delivered a number of deadly serves
and spikes, taking advantage of
the weaker Chinese blocking.
The Canadian coach said his
team played a steady game. The
difference between the two teams
was the Canadian team blocked
better due to their size advantage.
The Chinese coach Yu You
Wei said his team did not play as
well as they could have because
some team members were injured.
The main aim of this tour in Canada was to prepare for the upcoming Asian games this fall.
For the Chinese team, Vancouver is the fourth stop on their
tour and they have played previously in Calgary, Edmonton, and
Victoria, all of which were Canadian victories.
Although the match was publicized very little on campus, there
was a strong contingent of mainland Chinese students in attendance.
At the end of the match trophies for most valuable players
were awarded to Canadian player
Randy Gingera and to Chinese
player Cao Mao Wen.

Scullers scull skillfully
by Sandra Stephanson
UBC rowers fared well at the
UBC/VRC Spring Invitational
Regatta against formidable competition from the University of
Victoria, Western Washington
University and Simon Fraser
University this past weekend.
The UBC rowing birds pulled
off two first place finishes in the
women's junior varsity/lightweight eight race and the men's
junior varsity/lightweight four
plus coxswain.
In brilliant sunshine and with
a slight afternoon head wind, the
UBC lightweight women's eight
rowed a strong and steady final,
pulling away from WWU in the
last 600m ofthe 2000m race.
Coxswain Sharon Spinder
said, "We really pulled together,
Fm really happy with our performance and that we were able to finally beat these crews."
UBC's winning time of
7:39:08 was a decisive six seconds
before WWU and 11 seconds
ahead ofthe UBC women's junior
varsity crew.
The junior varsity/lightweight men's four plus cox race
was easily won by the UBC crew
over an inexperienced novice crew
from SFU.
Both UBC's men and women
had to contend with the super
rowing power of UVic, who walked
away with victories in the men's
and women's heavy eight races.
The UBC women's heavy
eight settled for second place—ten
seconds out of contention.
"Our goal was to beat U. Vic
and unfortunately it didn't happen. We had a strong start. We're
working on getting faster for next
weekend's race in Victoria," said
varsity rower Suzanne Flemming.
The varsity heavyweight
men's eight finished third, nine
seconds off WWU and 17 seconds
behind the veteran U Vic crew.
The annual pilgrimage to the
San Diego Crew Classic Regatta
has been postponed indefinitely
for UBC rowers.
They will have to settle for
competing in the Oregon State
University and University of Victoria Dual Regatta to be held
March 31st and April 1st in Victoria.
UBC athletes honoured
Capping off her third
straight all-Canadian season,
UBC soccer captain Mitch
Ring was awarded the Marilyn Pomfret trophy as UBC's
most outstanding female athlete and the Kay Brearley
award for exceptional service
to UBC women's athletics.
Ring had another outstanding season as centre
back, leading the tough Canada West conference in scoring for the second year in a
row. She was named a Canada
West All-star for the fourth
time, all-Canadian for the
third, and was selected as a
member of Canada's national team.
In the men's category,
UBC football tight-end Tom
Vlasic has been awarded the
Bobby Gaul trophy as UBC's
most outstanding graduating male athlete. Vlasic
caught 133 passes for 1961
yards and 11 touchdowns
during his five seasons at
UBC.

If the reader were to accept
Mr. Norman's view of language, he
has already won the battle. A rational argument cannot succeed
when the issues and language are
sinking in a quagmire of vague
definitions. Such definitions permeate our culture and even dictionaries have become a weakened
defence. This state of affairs suits
the irrational, emotional, catch-
all-phrases of Mr. Norman perfectly.

Suffering is BAD
The "Hate-Hurts" campaign
left out an important issue.
In all the talk about the terrible hate and discrimination that
goes on in human society, in all the
talk about the infringement ofthe
rights of human minorities and
women, never was the most widespread and abhorantly harmful
type of discrimination publicly
spoken (or written) out against:
SPECIESISM. That is, the tyranny of humans over non-humans.
Granted, the types of discrimination between humans are
all terrible. They must be ERADICATED. They are all, however,
PALTRY—utterly insignificant
and trivially mild—IN COMPARISON to the DEGREE and
AMOUNT of suffering that non-
humans are put through by humans.
Women and human minorities all, quite justifiably, complain
because they aren't given EQUAL
rights. In comparison, however,
non-humans aren't given ANY
rights or granted the slightest
degree of consideration: it is considered completely justifiable to—
EAT them—BURN them—lock
them in a box for their entire
lives—BRAND them—TEAR
their beaks off—SEW their eyes
closed—INFECT them with cancer, aids or any other DISEASE
you desire—STARVE them—line
them up and SHOOT them
through the head—ELECTROCUTE them—IRRADIATE
them—POISON them—DROWN
them—FREEZE them—DRUG
them—HOLD them in HEAD
BRACES for their entire lives—
pour DETERGENT and COSMETICS in their EYES and on
their skin—TRAP them by their
LEGS in steel let-hold traps—
ABDUCT them from their native
habitat. Basically, itis considered
perfectly justifiable to do WHATEVER YOU WANT to them. And
if there should come a time that
the law threatens you with the
charge of 'cruelty to animals',
while then you can just say that
what you're doing is in the interests of science (I guess that's what
the NAZI DOCTORS said in
WW.II when they experimented
on Jews).
What is required is not equal
treatment for non-humans.
Rather, EQUAL CONSIDERATION. Equal consideration for the
well-being of women requires that
they be given an equal opportunity
to achieve and enjoy the same
things that men do. Equal consideration for the well-being of pigs
may require no more than that we
leave them alone with other pigs in
a place where there is enough food
to eat and room to run freely.
Similarly, equal consideration for
apes, monkeys, bears, alone with
members of their own kind in their
native habitat. Considerations
such as these are really all that is
required but if it was granted, it
would bring an end to an abhorent
and unjustified idscrimination
(see: Animal Liberation by Peter
Singer).
When we are considering
whom is to be granted rights to
equal consideration, in the words
of Jeremy Bentham, "the question
is not, Can they reason? nor Can
they talk? but, CAN THEY SUFFER?"
The large majority of humans
either acquiesce or actively partake in all or many of the above
atrocities. Apparently, hoever,
judging from the alck ofthe representation fo thie issue, according
to the "Hate
Hurts" committee, this simply IS
NOT AN IMPORTANT consideration. It is well and fine to campaign aginst inter-human hate
but when }'ou do so under the
banner of a campaign to eradicate
ALL hate and discrimination,
YOU IMPLY THAT IT IS THE
ONLY HATE AND DISCRIMINATION THAT NEEDS TO BE
ERADICATED.
However, not only is inter-
human discrimination NOT the
only kind that needs to be eradicated but it is NOT EVEN the most
harmful and pervasive kind.
It is obvious to anyone who is
not completely dead to all sense of
suffering that THE VAST MAJORITY OF DISCRIMINATORY
ACTS AGAINST NON-HUMANS
ARE UNJUSTIFIABLE and that
this is THE MOST PERVASIVE
AND HARMFUL TYPE OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORLD
TODAY.
But perhaps the "Hate Hurts"
committee did not mean to leave
out this issue—perhaps it was just
an oversight;—I hope so.

THE UBYSSEY/11 Nightmare vision terminally consuming
by Paul Dayson
THE world of Terminal City
is mad and getting madder.
Sit back. Do what you are
told. Go out and buy something.
It will make you feel better.
Everything will be done for you.
Everything will be thought of for
you. THOSE WHO RESIST WILL
BE SHOT.
FILM
Terminal City Ricochet
Opened Friday
Terminal City Ricochet is
about a world going insane; it is
an apocalyptic vision.
A comedy adventure, in the
sense of black humour, the film is
a nightmare vision of a society on
the brink of self-destruction. Terminal City hacks itself to pieces
much like Lupo the Butcher.
Ecological disaster is evident
throughout as "space junk" rains
down on the city which resembles
a garbage dump wasteland full of
discarded obsolete consumer
products. And people ignore it as
the sky falls on them. They are
told to.
The Terminal Citizens are
told to do a lot of things and to do
nothing. Sit back, take it easy
and everything will be just fine.
Everything will be done for you.
This is the ultimate consumer society.
Ross "The Boss" Glimore is a
modern politician. More style
than substance. He is a talk show
host risen to political office and
corporate control. Glimore's
greatest political weapon is
television. A combination of
Ronald Reagan, Bill Vander Zalm
and Morton Downey Jr., Ross
Glimore is the ultimate "tabloid
politician." His by-word is
POWER, and he sacrifices all to
it.
The Truth, Terminal City's
newspaper, and all the other
media deny the disasters that
befall the city. But then the
media is owned by multi-millionaire and mayor Glimore's Glicorp.
Any other uncontrolled media is
banned as immoral.
Rock'n'roll is illegal. As a
spontaneous rebellious and
imaginative art form it is a
danger to a stable unquestioning
society, Terminal City. Only
underground, rock continues to
be played, constituting the basis
of resistance culture.
That public enemy number
one should be a rock musician, a
rock'n'roll terrorist, and solely a
creation ofthe media is hardly
surprising. Except that he
delivers the paper and couldn't
care less... just like everyone else.)
Until the Biker Cops and
psychotic Bruce Cottle, an agent
of Glimore's special police force
played by Jello Biafra, are after
him. Then, he is forced to pay
attention...
Terminal City Ricochet is not
a high budget smooth film, in the
Hollywood style. It's acting and
special effects frequently left
something to be desired. These
were the obvious effects of a
limited budget. At times it can't
'compete' with the glitz of the
commercial media it attempts to
parody. Despite these faults,
however, the film delivers its
message with powerful effect. The
message, or messages, easily
overshadow and even incorporate
the problems ofthe film.
The movie makes it on its
vitality. The energy of rock music
reaches from the soundtrack to
the visual images on the screen.
"Any similarity between
incidents in this movie and
reality are just the way things
are."

Or it can be a wonderful one.
It's up to you!
REACH OUT is a program sponsored by
International House in which international
students are linked up with Vancouver
correspondents who will write to them,
providing them with helpful information and
a local contact. It's a great way to make new
friends and to learn about other countries.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, plaase
contact International House as soon as
possible, either in person or by calling
228-5021. Both Canadians and
Internationals welcome.
